Reality ain't always the truth[00:00:00]

Rhymes Equal Actual Life [00:00:03]

In The Youth[00:00:04]

These are the streets [00:00:07]

Shit is real out here [00:00:10]

This ain't no f**kin joke [00:00:15]

I lived in a spot called Millbrooke Projects[00:00:17]

The original Criminal Minded rap topic[00:00:19]

With twenty cents in my pocket I saw the light[00:00:21]

If you're young gifted and black [00:00:24]

You got no rights[00:00:26]

Your only true right is a right to a fight[00:00:27]

And not a fair fight [00:00:30]

I wake up wonderin who died last night[00:00:31]

Everyone and everything is at war[00:00:33]

Makin my poetic expression hardcore[00:00:35]

I ain't afraid to say it [00:00:37]

And many can't get with it[00:00:39]

At times in my life [00:00:40]

I was a welfare recipient[00:00:42]

I ate the free cheese [00:00:43]

While the church said believe[00:00:45]

And went to school everyday [00:00:46]

Like a god damn fool[00:00:47]

Well anyway here I am [00:00:48]

Chillin at the party[00:00:50]

Brothers lookin at me like they wanna kill somebody[00:00:51]

A cypher manifested in the center of the jam[00:00:54]

I got to show these wack rappers really who I am[00:00:56]

It's me against them [00:00:59]

So I clear the phlegm[00:01:00]

And wage the war hardcore to the end[00:01:02]

For someone lookin inside [00:01:05]

Yeah from the out[00:01:06]

It seems like disrespect is what rap is all about[00:01:07]

But hip-hop as a culture [00:01:10]

Is really what we give it[00:01:11]

But sometimes the culture contradicts how we live it[00:01:13]

Cause every black kid lives two and three lives[00:01:15]

The city's a jungle [00:01:18]

Only the strong will survive[00:01:19]

Reality ain't always the truth[00:01:20]

Rhymes Equal Actual Life In The Youth[00:01:22]

Reality ain't always the truth[00:01:25]

Rhymes Equal Actual Life In The Youth[00:01:28]

Every single day I hear lie after lie[00:01:32]

Like Black people don't die [00:01:34]

We multiply[00:01:36]

So when I kick a rhyme I represent how I feel[00:01:37]

The sacred street art of keepin it real[00:01:40]

Why I gotta listen to somebody else [00:01:42]

How they got wealth let me talk about myself[00:01:45]

But all I really got is hip-hop and a glock[00:01:48]

The results are obvious [00:01:50]

If I'm confined to my block[00:01:52]

Occasionally in the city I'm released[00:01:53]

To meet other beasts lookin for the feast[00:01:56]

We grunt and growl on the prowl [00:01:58]

As the air gets thinner[00:02:01]

Yo yo there he go him there's the dinner[00:02:03]

White meat carryin a bag of some sort[00:02:05]

Life is short white meat is quickly caught[00:02:07]

A scuffle a muffle yet none of us hesitated[00:02:09]

Like Mother Africa white meat is violated[00:02:12]

We quickly dissapear like Santa's little elves[00:02:15]

And go into a area to fight amongst ourselves[00:02:17]

We say peace/piece cause that's what we really want[00:02:20]

A piece of the pie that America flaunts[00:02:23]

Reality ain't always the truth[00:02:26]

Rhymes Equal Actual Life In The Youth[00:02:29]

Reality ain't always the truth[00:02:31]

Rhymes Equal Actual Life In The Youth[00:02:34]

Oh shit [00:02:47]

The truth is that police must serve and protect[00:02:48]

REALITY is black youth is shown no respect[00:02:50]

The truth is government has a war against drugs[00:02:53]

REALITY is government is ruled by thugs[00:02:55]

With all this technology [00:02:58]

Above and under[00:02:59]

Humanity still hunts down one another[00:03:01]

Rappers display artistic cannibalism[00:03:03]

Through lyricism [00:03:06]

We fight each other over rhythm[00:03:07]

Through basic animal instincts we think[00:03:09]

So the battle for mental territory is glory [00:03:11]

End of story[00:03:13]

Reality ain't always the truth[00:03:20]

Rhymes Equal Actual Life [00:03:22]

In The Youth[00:03:23]

Reality ain't always the truth[00:03:25]

Rhymes Equal Actual Life [00:03:27]

In The Youth[00:03:29]

Yeah[00:03:30]

These are the streets [00:03:35]

Shit is real out here [00:03:38]

This ain't no f**kin joke[00:03:41]
